Rainbow Six Siege Operation: Chimera, Outbreak events detailed

Rainbow Six Siege Operation: Chimera and Outbreak events, ones that will launch the game’s third season of content, were today detailed by Ubisoft.

Operation: Chimera and the limited-time Outbreak events begin in two week’s time via technical test servers, starting 19 and 20 February, respectively. The events go live to all platforms on 6 March, while Outbreak will run until 3 April.

“In Outbreak, the first seasonal event for Rainbow Six Siege, players will choose their best team of three to enter the devastated town of Truth or Consequences and neutralise the threat,” Ubisoft said of the limited-time event. “From exploding monstrosities to hulking horrors, the Rainbow Six team will face something never-seen before. These armoured monsters will bring the fight close and push the destruction engine to new heights. Players will have to find new ways of using their arsenal, against a foe that doesn’t take cover and engages instantly in close combat.”

Freaky, eh?

If you’re keen to learn more about the events, Ubisoft is hosting a Twitch livestream from the Six Invitation Finals over 17-18 February.

Rainbow Six: Siege is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
